With "is that sentence", should I write full sentence, consisting of subject verb object?


1-Another factor of rising crimes among teenagers is that the glamorizing of crimes in the media.

2-Another point to consider is that tourism can be a significant factor for economically poor countries, but rich in history.

3- Hosting sports tournaments encourages people of all ages to take part in sports and equally important is that it helps to flourish the economy.

1. Another factor of in rising crimes crime levels among teenagers is that the glamorizing of crimes in the media.

2. Another point to consider is that tourism can be a significant factor for countries that are economically poor countries, but rich in history.

3. Hosting sports tournaments encourages people of all ages to take part in sports. and Equally important is that it helps to flourish boost the economy.
See above.
 
Yes. That's why your first sentence is wrong.

Thanks. Why is it correct to say is "the glamorizing of crimes" as in #3 post ,not is that the glamorizing of crimes in the media in my #1 thread. I thought glamorizing is a noun so I can use is that with it.

Please note my corrections above. Note that "#3" and #1" don't mean "third" and "first". They mean "number 3" and "number 1".
The problem with ending that sentence with "is the glamorising of crimes in the media" is that it needs something after it, connected to "that". For example:

Another factor of in the rising level of crimes among teenagers is that the glamorizing of crimes in the media makes criminal behaviour attractive.

Without that ending, "that" has nothing to explain how the level of crime and the glamorisation of crime are connected. Let's simplify the sentence:

Another factor is the glamorising of crime in the media.

I'm sure you can see now that "that" has no place in the sentence.
